A1Difficulty 2/5

Can a motorcycle rider be dazzled by the lights of cars travelling in the opposite direction?

Correct answer

Yes, especially if the helmet visor is scratched.

Yes. The rider’s position and wearing a helmet do not guarantee protection from glare. Keep the visor clean and free of scratches to preserve good vision. If dazzled, avoid looking directly at the light source and reduce speed to suit the available visibility. Do not use a dark visor as a solution for night riding.
